Blizzard forgot to turn off x-ray vision in World of Warcraft’s new prop hunt mode, so you can imagine how fair the matches are right now

Players in World of Warcraft's Decor Duels mode can disguise themselves as furniture, but the gameplay is hindered by the active "track humanoids" ability, which allows players to easily locate opponents. This ability can be used by hunters or activated by any player through a consumable item called Blackened Worg Steak. Additionally, some players have found ways to bypass arena barriers, reminiscent of exploits in Overwatch's prop hunt mode. Decor Duels is a new feature introduced in the latest patch, and players are concerned about fairness and balance in the game. The community is awaiting a patch to address these issues.
